F...Cutting grass
 

Pulled the lawnmower out for the first time this season to hit a patch of grass already growing faster than the rest of the yard (f*cking nature) and as soon as I gassed it and checked the oil I noticed a oil stain in the shed round where the air filter is...long story short, I bought a new lawnmower at lowes Sunday. Lowes takes so much of my effin chedder. Anyways, I was thinking cutting grass really blows.Now with pollen and spring coming it will clog the nose and eventually take away endless amount of the summer drinking time.

Im thinking about putting in field turf, but Im sure will look funny around the 20+ trees on the 3/4 acre lot. Damn it, eff cutting grass.

Step 1: Put black plastic all of your lawn.
Step 2: Wait for all grass to die.
Step 3: Install MOSS

It's soft, a sweet green color, and requires little maintenance just some shade! The classic win/win~!

Purchase a goat. Goat gets grass, you get goat cheese.

Nature is groovy!

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

Sounds good, but will the grass stay dead? Kinda sounds like moss would be like zombie grass and come back to life.

I just dont want the Goat constantly bitching about Shanny or the front office or Pierre Garcon. Probably be a real pain.

You could have a crop duster spray your property with Roundup once or twice a summer.

I thought what I said was an obvious joke. I mean, why hire a crop duster when you can freeze the Roundup and then use a snowblower?

Whats Edward Scissorhands up too these days? If he is in the unemployment line I gotta job...

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

Hooray for my HOA which includes all outside maintenance. Hopefully I've mowed my last lawn.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

I actually like mowing the lawn.

Coming inside from working out in the yard smelling like gasoline and fresh cut grass... refreshing.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

I had 3 acres when we first got married and with no neighbors I'd cut grass on Thursday night. It was pretty common for me to be cutting grass at 10 or 11 pm with a stiff drink in my hand. My wife could tell how drunk I got by how many places I missed while cutting. I'm down to about a 1/2 acre and I still have the 50 inch mower so it does not take very long to cut. I like yard work after being behind a desk all day/week.

Me too. It's a happy time for me with a sense of freedom.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

In late fall, I try to let the grass grow tall as possible without looking too ugly, to get as thick as possible layer of dead grass come spring. Helps to keep the weeds down without having to use herbicides. Was spot spraying dandelions with roundup, probably mowing this weekend lol.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

Been a long ass winter.
I'm more than happy to get out and do some yard work.
We're converting our back yard to dune grass so I'll have less to mow anyways.

A winter Ryegrass is also good to fight back weeds but the down fall is you will have to cut grass a few times over the winter. I had our yard looking so good last summer with a Winter Ryegrass I probably had 20 people stop to ask me what I did you get my grass looking so good.

Love that movie......not sure about their lawns' though

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

Mowing the grass with my old Toro walk-behind mower... eff that. Mowing the grass with my new Deere tractor, awesome.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

I prefer to smoke it!!!

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

I like cutting grass too. Although i hate cutting it when i have to do it more than once a week, which i am pretty much at right now. I put some weed and feed down in feburary and as of last night i have cut my grass 3.5 times (.5 because i just did the front one time).

2 years ago this old man told me that the most important thing you can do is "mow high". I put down some granual Preen weed preventer and some weed and feed once a year but other than that i just mow high. No bagging or anything. I now have the best lawn on my street and one of the better lawns in the neighborhood with minimul effort (dont worry ill try and post pics tomorrow!!!).

I will also highly recommend a Toro "Super Recycler". Dont get a Recycler, its a piece of shit, the Super Recycler does a much better job and will last 20+ years with basic maintenance. That said im about to sell mine because i just bought an old school 2 stroke mower (ill also try and post pics!!). Its pretty sweet and keeps with my size 13 carbon foot print.

As long as I don't have to push mow the entire yard, I don't mind mowing either. I love working out in the yard. I'm inside at a desk all freakin' week. It's nice to get out and get some fresh air.

Winter Ryegrass does not take much to get it going. Just put it down and water it once or twice and in a week you will have grass coming up. The trick is to not wait until it gets real cold put it down while the temps are still in the 70's. Also don't put it down too heavy as it will grow to thick and its a mess to try and cut thick wet grass. When summer comes it will die off after a few weeks of hot temps.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

As promised a pic of my front yard i took this morning.

As you can see my grass is far from perfect but the lower right corner is one of the worst spots (if not the worst). I also didnt have time to edge or anything else last night. Besides the edges there are very little weeds.

I do the bare minium in keeping it like this. I mow high (the higest or second highest) and i put down Preen. I also mow the nice parts first and shitty parts last. I dont water and i dont bag. It will dry up a little bit during the summer, but will come back very strong each time we get a few days of rain. Ill leave it a little too long during the winter but it ends up staying green throughout the season.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

Another tip is to only plant grass in the early Fall (late August to late September). Its a waste of time, money and effort to try and grow grass in the Spring. Sure it will take off initially, but if you live south of New York 85% of it is gonna die during the Summer. Also you should only put down fertalizer in the Fall or early Winter. Preen or any other pre-emergent in the Spring and Fall. Stay inside during the Summer.

Having a fescue lawn without a sprinkler system south of NY doesnt have to be hard as shit.

I will also add that at this point last year everyone seemed to have nicer looking grass in the Richmond area (my shit was defintely nicer). I dont know whats going on this year but weeds seem a whole lot worse.

I found it on Craigslist and paid $60 for it a couple years back. Awesome deal.

Nice looking yard. As big as my yard is, I would go broke if I tried to make mine look like that.

Re: F...Cutting grass
 

What's going on with those wheels? Looks cool.


Gassed up the mower last night, started right up after winter vacation...always nice. Then, I let my wife mow for the first time this year. Yard looks great.

Taking your advice, mlmpetert...and raised the deck height a little to "mow high". Your grass looks incredible.
